Count that up and you get an absurd 15 first-round picks over seven drafts if all of the picks convey, as well as the ability to swap picks in three different years.

And that’s not even mentioning the promising young point guard acquired from the Clippers in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

The Thunder’s future is looking bright

While the Thunder’s haul over the next two years isn’t huge, we could be seeing a simply gargantuan collection of assets if either the Rockets or Clippers can’t keep it together for seven years. And if this offseason is any indication, keeping a winning team together for that long is borderline impossible.

The Thunder can now fully retool for the future around Gilgeous-Alexander. The team doesn’t even really need to bottom out, because it could basically have two other teams drafting on its behalf in a few years.

Losing stars like George and Westbrook is painful, and even that many draft picks is no guarantee you land the superstar you need to contend in the NBA, but no team should be in this good of a position after what’s happened to the Thunder this offseason.
